@Tryhard There definitely are some things to complain about. Some of the daily goals have been a bit picky with counting for some players and the changes to Temple of Grenth have made the boss near impossible (although considering how over farmed that area was, perhaps that's fully intentional). Plus the changes to the dungeon mechanics seems a bit ill-advised. They're pretty minor nitpicks though that will likely be resolved pretty quickly.

On the good side of things, Orr is at least 2000% more enjoyable to explore now though. Much less Risen and there are actual waypoints in the Straights that aren't constantly contested. I almost miss the swarms of enemies that would constantly pull you towards them.

"It is not fair that players can now get Ascended Gear in PvE when I grinded Fractals."

And other type of why is the grass greener on your side of the fence than mine.

I like the new daily list.I have to think about it,rather than go on auto.And it isn't that much harder.

Have not looked at Orr yet with any of my toons parked there.They did layer the Risen a bit thick in places.Will make traveling around quicker on foot.And great to have some uncontested way points added for everyone.

My run today seemed to feel much smoother,and the loot drops were more rewarding.And their were new types of plants for collecting in areas that did not have them when I passed through with other toons.

oh, and Jambob has successfully transferred guild leadership to me. Anyone on Gunnars, you are now able to fiddle with the guild upgrade queue, and can withdraw stuff from the treasure trove storage area.

I'm a bit confused: I'm still in Newer Level - the GH EG guild - but I moved to Desolation quite some time ago.
What's the "active" guild I should be looking for then?

@Shikasama I'm guilty of this and as much as I try not to I always forget.

Fortunately I loathe babies so we're all good.

Update has got me back into the game after a christmas hiatus, still a pretty game and was fun to play but every update seems to bring newer top tier loot and a new reward currency to go with it, so feeling a little undecided about it.
Still not had a chance to try new Orr though, maybe it'll make those things that annoy less obvious

My Toons did not have trouble Tooning up in Toonsville.[That should sort out the world population for awhile].

Anet could have sat on their hands and said we made our money.They have made many cock ups along the way.But seem to be moving in the right direction with PvE,loot drops,WvW.Had my moneys worth five times over with GW2 and always fun to dip back in with new content and meet friendly randoms.[I hope the word randoms doesn't make sensitive people punch things].

What I'm unsure of is whether I need to change to another guild to rejoin the EG posse, or are you all just in Newer Level on Desolation too now. If the latter: why's brokenkey telling everyone to ask for an invite? Or was that only aimed at new players?

The laurel seller list looks very interesting.A cat in a hat.Special tools,class specific random exoctic or rare gear.Plus Ascended gear.
Plus a lot of other stuff.Will certainly make me log in for my daily completion.

The story is just a refugee camp at Hoelbrak and Black Citadel.
Which is a tent with refugees.A refugee coordinator.But that is all we are getting I guess till Feb.As there are no leads on from this point.

Right, I couldn't resist that after getting the email so i've now bought GW2. I've never fully got into an MMO before, just 1 month of EVE, up to about level 12 on F2P WoW and a few betas (including the one for this) so looking forward to it but I probably wont get to play until Monday due to weekend plans.

Is there a server that most people from here are on that I could join?
